Fishing The Jefferson Street Pier (Port Clinton, Ohio)

This whole year I've been on a roll with collecting Fish Ohio species. One of my first entries of each year usually happens to be Freshwater Drum, but up until today I hadn't caught any that qualified. I saw on a few fishing pages of folks catching some rather large Freshwater Drum on Crawfish. So I decided I would stop by Anglers Supplies in Fremont, Ohio and pick up some live Crawfish. I then headed to the one place I knew I would almost be guaranteed to land a Fish Ohio worthy Freshwater Drum and that place was the mouth of the Portage River in Port Clinton, Ohio. Sure enough I caught my 6th Fish Ohio species of the year, a 25.50 inch Freshwater Drum, let's go!

Caught a ton of them walleye fishing and landed a couple big ones, but never thought about the species of the year. I read where if you bleed them out and put them right on ice, they are not too bad eating.

No Sheehay for me.

They're fun to catch though

nice fish....persistence pays off!

[@DakotaDunlap69]

Definitely, there's times when I would sit out all day and fish in one spot without moving. Even if the bite is slow, it's a really good way to figure out when the fish are moving in to feed.

That's and all bottom feeders go in garden,peace brother!!! Dont eat.

[@DakotaDunlap69]

I haven't tried it, i heard it tastes like lobster if prepared correctly. A lot of different species of fish feed off the bottom and / or eat the fish that feed off the bottom
